I am starting a petition to waive the age requirement for enlistment into the military and get volunteers for a tour in the Mideast. Our forces are obviously stretched to the breaking point and we need to give a break to men and women who have done multiple tours in Iraq. I’m sure President Bush will be able to pull some strings to make this happen.

Of course, the President will be leading us old guys into Iraq after his term ends in January 2009, because as he has said; “The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad." That should give us enough time to get in half decent shape. The President is already more healthy than 99% of Americans, so no problem there.

There are millions of people in favor of this war, so recruiting of the 42+ age group should be no problem. Please send your name and address to rschalow at cableone.net or add your name to this string if you wish to join and can be ready to deploy in about two and a half years.

And please nominate other patriots who you know to be fired up to fight the Islamo-fascists over there.
